Schwein

Born out of the ashes and inspiration that was Schaft Schwein was an international industrial super group that consisted of Imai Hisashi and Sakurai Atsushi of Buck-Tick, Sascha Konietzko of KMFDM and Raymond Watts of Pig that had a brief but hugely successful existence in 2001.



Bringing together a wealth of experience and ideas the highly stylised group released a debut CD “Schweinstein” and a follow up remix EP “Son of Schweinstein” to huge acclaim which saw “Schweinstein” break into the top 20 album sales in Japan and followed it up with a short mini tour without Konietzko who cited a desire to work on KMFDM instead.



The live version of Schwein boasted an impressive line up and was bolstered by playing to sell out crowds at every venue.
